Resources
Read the second article in this series, "Port Windows IPC apps to Linux, Part 2: Semaphores and events" (developerWorks, May 2005).
The online code examples in the book Pthreads Programming by Bradford Nichols, Dick Buttlar, and Jacqueline Proulx Farrel (O'Reilly, 1996) illustrate the concepts in this article.
Don't forget to check the Linux Threads FAQ, the Linux Manpages Online, and the LinuxThreads library for specific calls and more details on programming with threads in Linux.
For more on programming with threads in Linux, see the developerWorks articles, "Basic use of pthreads" (developerWorks, January 2004) and "POSIX threads explained" (developerWorks, July 2000).
The series of developerWorks articles, "Migrate your apps from OS/2 to Linux" (developerWorks, February 2004) is a good reference to see what is mapped during migration.
